As a school of information and gen
eral news, we will commence in this
issne to hoist at onr mast head the
Banner of Republicanism and in-
scribe thereon prosperity. Under an
administration that is uncompromis-
ingly republican, prosperity is felt
throughout the land. No one need
feel the slightest hesitancy in defend
ing the St. Louis platform for its
works speak in no uncertain language.
STOP THE FOOLISHNESS.
First blood for Denver. The So.
Pacific railway has conceeded to us
the Missouri river rates. This is as
it should be. All roads must follow
this example and when they do, Den
ver will receive that impetus it so
much needs to make it a commercial
center.
Polygamist Roberts, is unseated.
This is as it should be. The nation
cannot afford to countenance such a
violation of morality. The House,
however might profitably turn its at
tention to other evils more serious
than polygamy. Wholesale bribery,
the plundering of the people for the
benefit of the rich by unscrupulous
member*, strikes at the vtry founda
tion of a popular government. Yet
the House is silent on this evil. An
archy and violence run riot over the
country imperilling the very existence
of the state yet the House is s'lent
It has taken one good step and we
hope will continue on.
A great deal of sympathy has been
expressed for the young murderer,
Antone Wocd and a pardon was in
prospect for h;m. Even with this
last dastardly act there are those who
plead his unfortnnate birth as extenu
ation for him. Had he been a negro
he wor'd have been a burly brute anc
would be only another proof of the
negro's unfitness for higher education
Let the same standard apply to both
races and let unfortunate birth be an
extenuation for the black as well as
the white criminal.

The so-called anti-imperialist oppo-
sition to the administration policy In
the Philippines has its humorous side,
and it is from that side that it has been
treated generally in the press of the
country. It is high time, however, that
the jerious view should be considered,
and that the opponents of the adminis-
tration should be called upon to formu-
late their policy in a positive state-
ment. That the speeches of Senator
Hoar and others, telegraphed to Hong
Kong and thence to Manila, encour-
aged Aguinaldo and his followers, and
that the continuance of the insurrec-
tion, and the blood of General Lawton
and many others is directly chargeable
to these treasonable encouragements of
the armed enemies of our country, has
been put beyond a doubt. It is time
now to stop the foolishness.
The so-called anti-imperialists differ
among themselves as to the policy to
be pursued; but one thing all of them
apparently are united on: that the
United States, when it abandons the
Philippines to Aguinaldo and the
Hong Kong junta, shall guarantee that
no other nation shall put a stop to the
anarchy which would naturally result
from the withdrawal of the United
States forces, or take possession of the
islands or any part thereof, for the
time of ten years at least. This is the
most definite proposition upon which
all the anti-imperialists appear to be
united. This is a policy which can
only be characterized as a dog-in-the-
manager policy. Does any one imagine,
who has any sense, that the other na-
tions who would be glad to get pos
session of the islands would acknowl
edge for a moment the right of the
United States to withdraw from them,
and at the same time announce to the
world that no other nation should take
them? So long as we hold the islands,
other nations acknowledge our light to
do so: but the moment we withdraw,
and allow the natives to make war on
each other undisturbed, to violate the
rights of traders, to pillage and mas-
sacre at their will, other nations are
bound to sec that the rights of their
subjects are protected, and they will
do so; and if we should undertake to
prevent them we should have on our
hands a world-wide war.
The guaranty which the anti imperi-
alists propose, therefore, is a guaranty
of war with England and Germany and
Russia and probably Fiance, all in the
interests of peace. A more absurd
proposition was never formulated by
a man insane.
There is not a single anti-imperialist,
so far as their utterances disclose, who
would have this country simply with-
draw from the Philippines and leave
them to their fate. Every one wants
the United States to guarantee them
from interference by any other power.
Such a guaranty involves all the re-
sponsibilities and none of the benefits
which would come from an occupa-
tion by this country. That the Fili-
pinos would have under our govern-
ment a larger measure of individual
freedom, a better administration of
justice, and a better chance to "life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
than under the dictatorship of an
Aguinaldo, is not worth arguing. The
question is whether this country, hav-
ing undertaken a responsibility, shall
Hunk it. There is but one answer to
such a question that can be given
by the American people, and if Mr.
Bryan and the majority of the Demo-
crats in their next national convention
shall declare that this country ought
to adopt any such course as is now-
proposed by the Democratic leaders
who seem to have most influence in the
party, the popular verdict in the next
election will be so overwhelming that
the party will need a quarter of a
century more to recruit its shattered
forces enough to make a respectable
contest.
and churches," "to foster trade and
industry," and concluding with t)»
words that it was "their liberty, not
our power, which we are seeking to
enhance."
In speaking of the attitude of the
United States toward the Philippines,
Senator Wolcott maintained that we
took the islands "not as a conquest, but
as one of the highest duties we owed
the human race." He upheld the re-
tention of the Philippines upon the
high grounds of humanity and not be-
cause of their value to us in dollars
and cents.
His address,' while not a studied
speech, was a notable one, as all of
Senator Wolcott's utterances are. He
showed that the United States govern-
ment owes it to itself and to the na-
tives that it establish peace and good
government in the islands, and that
our first duty, in carrying out such a
policy, is to quell the insurrection.—
Denver Times.
FettUeat Pettl^rew.
In the Senate yesterday Pettigrew
pettigrewed with even more than his
habitual pettigrewness. He said that
Mr. McKinley had laid himself open to
impeachment and had acted by order
of the British government. He, swat-
ted the British government,. "the ig-
norance and sycophancy of the British
people," the "miserable, contemptible
rot" of Rudyavd Kipling. British rule
in Egypt, and other things to numerous
to mention. He said that white men
couldn't live in the tropics, & saying
characteristically pettigrew. By the
side of Pettigrew even Billy Mason
seems to have almost a rudimentary
intelligence and a faint glimmering of
reason.—N. Y. Sun.
l
No Cover Nccesmrr.
The administration seems determined
to allow the "aunties" to fire all their
ammunition before answering, but
there will be a broadside when It does
come. After witnessing the operations
since the beginning of the Spanish
war no rational citizen really believes
that there is any necessity for the ad-
ministration to cover up anything.—
Minneapolis Tribune.
Brjan and Kentucky.
Bryan denies the report that he urged
the Democrats of Kentucky to respect
the will of the people of the state as
expressed-in the election. The story
was improbable on its face. Bryan is
not the man who would raise his hand
to prevent his party from committing
a fraud if he thought that the fraud
would give it control of any important
office. Still, if Goebel steals the gov-
ernorship. Bryan and his party may
bid a long good-by to power in Ken-
tucky.—St. Louis tilobe-Democrat.

WOLCOTT ANDTHE PHILIPPINES
Senator Wolcott's reply to Senator
Pettigrew on the Philippine question
was a scathing and timely rebuke to
the gentleman from South Dakota and
his fellow American Tagalos, who are
banging away with their blunder-
busses at the administration, notwith-
standing, as Senator Wolcott says,
there is "not an honest Democrat who
did not admit that if his party were in
power the first thing to be done would
be to crush the insurrection."
The Colorado senator said: "Scat
tered through every community there
.vere the discontented and unhappy
people who had not been successful
and who viewed with suspicion and
hatred all those whose lives had been
crowned with success, who behind ev
ery good action looked for a lurking,
sinister purpose." The people are fit-
tingly represented In the United States
Senate by such a man as Pettigrew,
for "during all the years I have known
him," stated Senator Wolcott, "I never
knew him to say a kind or friendly
word about a single person or a single
cause."
Senator Wolcott warmly defended
the position of the President, who has
taken no step "that did not reflect
honor upon the people of the United
States." He read from the President's
message the extract about the duty of
the government after the insurrection
was over, to spare "no effort to build
tiT* the waste place," "to open schools
The Danish West Indies.
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune,
the leading Republican paper of Ohio,
says, anent the pi-oposition to purchase
the Danish West India islands: "The
islandr are on the market, the price is
reasonable, they will add completeness
to our system of coaling and harbor
stations in western waters. The evi-
dent conclusion would seem to be that,
regardless of any other consideration,
they are a aesirable purchase."
A Disciple.
In a sermon on "Creeds and Trusts" a
Ckicago clergyman, the Rev. Alexan-
der Kent of the People's Church, put
forth the novel theory that religion and
theology are the sources .of trusts. If
the tariff was the mother of trusts, as
has been asserted, he declared, then he
was "justified in saying that popular
theology is the grandmother of trusts."
as the tariff is not the mother of trusts,
Mr. Kent's very interesting theory
falls.—New York Sun.

The earnest efforts made by the Pres-
ident and his Cabinet to get action out
of Congress for the establishment of a
government in Puerto Rico is a suffi-
cient answer to the outcry made by
Oliver Belmont in a December maga-
zine in which he accused the admin-
istration of m plot to prevent any dis-
position of Puerto Rico at the present
session of Congress.
According to the Popoeratic theory,
McKinley desires to be a dictator in
our new possessions and Belmont even
suggested that Congress would be in-
vited ta append a new title to the
President. "He would be hereafter
styled "President of the United States
and Emperor of the Philippines and
Puerto Itico." The amount of cheap
froth that has been emitted from the
jaws of the traducers of the adminis-
tration since the adjournment of the
last Congress in connection with its al
leged "imperialism"' is incalculable.—

Copperheads of To-day.
The copperheads will be a little slow
about putting themselves in the way of
getting another drubbing like the one
they got on the Pettigrew proposition.
In fact, the copperheads are about as
feeble to-day as they were in 1861-65.
They are feebler, indeed, than they
were at one time during that period.
They carried several northern states
in 1802 and 1863, and ran the Demo-
cratic national convention in 1864.
They failed to run the country then,
however, and they will fail now.—St
1 Louis Globe-Democrat.
